Bloodborne: Walking the Demon’s Souls Dark Path?

The Sony Playstation.com Bloodborne game screenshots and related videos illuminate some of the game’s playable experience, but I’m trying to look beyond  spotlighted, captured specifics and visualize a bigger picture–the game that lurks in the shadows, the game that will be available March 24th. Bloodborne’s most important development component, the game’s story, may set this […]

The Foundation Trilogy a’ la YouTube

Since I’ve already had my say about why the Hard Science Fiction label is a misnomer (see my article titled Fantasy Fans’ Sci-Fi Ain’t Sci-Fi), I have decided to share some work by Isaac Asimov, a writer some consider to be a master of science fiction and fantasy. Asimov’s writing career spanned more than fifty […]

Fantasy Fans’ Sci-Fi Ain’t Sci-Fi

What fantasy fans often confuse for science fiction is not science fiction. The many incorrectly labeled sci-fi movies, books, games, and other fictional goodies that nerds and geeks digest in a daily entertainment diet go far, far beyond scientific reality; these forms of entertainment are fantasy, not science fiction. You know the stuff I’m talking […]

Beyond the Canvas with Ben Burnes

A pulsing drum, a crying synth, an angry riff; tinny chirps, quick bleeps, squishy splats; the tempo slows–a piano weeps single notes, a lover’s sigh carried on a soft wind. Ben Burnes’ sounds form audio landscapes, sounds that shape the listening ground we travel on; we move from track to track, from mood to mood. […]

Teasy-Treats

Chasing after video game achievements is no better than being a rat in a maze. Some secret placed in some dank corner of some RPG world, finally unlocked, gets you a virtual crumb of cheese; now, go get another, while people watch; more rats join the maze–Gamerscore, Trophy Level–more crumbs of cheese gained; everyone turns […]

Bradbury 13 a’ la YouTube

Ray Bradbury’s works are some of my greatest inspirations. Probably best known for Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles, his speculative fiction career spanned for more than sixty years. But his efforts reach far beyond my interest and before my time, his influence affecting many artists, writers, and others. Not long ago, a wonderful radio […]
